Alabama is pretty near the top of the golfing world. A lot of this is in part to Robert Trent Jones’ major design work The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. It is recognized as the most significant construction in Alabama’s golf history. This is just the tip of the iceberg however, as other big names such as Arnold Palmer, Robert Von Hagge, Larry Nelson and Jerry Pate have all left their mark. Alabama does have over 200 great golf courses strategically spread all across the state to choose from. You can find courses close to the sandy beaches as well as courses that stretch through the state’s forests. Some of the top courses in the state are Old Overton, Cotton Creek, Fighting Joe and Indian Pines. Despite its prestigious status in the golf world Alabama has been recognized as one of the best value states in the golfing community. Kiva Dunes and Limestone Springs have been noted as part of the list of 100 Greatest Public Courses. Whatever your motivation for playing a round of golf, Alabama is sure to have the right course for you.
